Synopsis

Libby Lakoski has two major problems. First, she’s secretly in love with her best friend, Carter Coldwell, and second, he’s marrying someone else. Carter’s the only person who has ever made Libby feel chosen, and sure, his fiancee is a British diamond heiress, but Carter and Libby have years of shared history and longing looks between them. Not to mention, Libby is the only person Carter trusted enough to tell about the dark magic that plagues his family.

But then a third and related problem presents itself—or, himself. Trip Coldwell is Carter’s handsome, smart, flirtatious cousin who also happens to be…a ghost. Trip’s “unfinished business” is to break the Coldwell curse, but the solution hinges on Libby encouraging Carter to allow his wedding to proceed. Unfortunately, Libby is the only person who can see Trip, and her objective is the exact opposite. Can Libby put aside her pining for Carter and work with his hot and not-quite-living cousin to save both men?

As they follow a trail of clues across New York City, Libby finds herself questioning just how much Carter reciprocated her friendship, feeling perplexed by a growing attraction to Trip, and fantasizing about actually touching him. With the countdown to the wedding in full swing, Libby must choose between saving the Coldwells and holding tight to her own happily ever after.

Prologue

I was sixteen when I learned how my best friend would die.

It was a hot day in August, and the pavers on the terrace of the Coldwell family’s Upper East Side townhome were practically steaming. Carter and I stretched out on two lounge chairs, fresh summer tans and the scent of coconut covering our bodies.

At sixteen, my hormones were at peak levels of embarrassment, always out to sabotage my cool facade. I spent most of the summer quelling the fluttering in my stomach and trying not to let my eyes linger too long on Carter’s body as we passed the hot days together in various states of undress.

Junior year. The dawn of a new school year was always rich with endless possibilities. Who I’d be, who I’d meet, whether Carter and I would finally cross the invisible barrier of our friendship into something more.

I flipped through the magazine in my lap, pretending to be interested while stealing glances his way. His tawny hair was an even lighter blond from months spent in the sun, dark sunglasses propped on his perfect Roman nose. We both sucked on cherry Popsicles while oldies played from the nearby stereo.

Grabbing a new magazine from the stack next to my chair, I stopped short at the cover. My body lurched forward, sitting up straight. “Oh my god. Carter, oh my god!”

“What?” His eyebrows rose above the frames of his sunglasses.
